Have you encountered this section in almost all social networking sites?
"About yourself"
What does that even mean?
In a jiffy, I would simply put in their my demographics: age, gender, educational background, or if in need of some "muchness" (as what The Hatter from Alice in Wonderland would say), I would squeeze in some hobbies.
But what is it really?
Truth be told, it would've been easier to analyze someone else's work, someone's else's life and someone else's story. Because it is not YOUR story. Objectivity offers a more distant, non-personal, less biased and in depth conclusion to another living or non living thing. However, how else should we know who the real us or me in this matter, if not, ME?
Sigh. Well, I do know that I have got a really strong personality. I find it hard sometimes to deal with others. And on the get-go, I would never be counted nor recognized as the "Miss Congeniality" type. I always have this wall put up. I talk a lot - however, with sense. I abhor injustice and favoritism especially if it does not mesh well with my own personal plans. hehehe! And just recently, I found myself weak and shaken. Well..
But what I also do know about me, is I am an optimist. a forever hopeful. a hopeless romantic. a true and loyal friend. a loving daughter. an artist in my own light.
Having said all these, would this over-do what the "About Yourself" section is requiring? or would I run out of characters to type in because I know me all too well? hehehehe...
